Most of my time goes into Lotus’s own apps now, but I’m still open to the right client project: apps for iPhone, iPad and the other Apple platforms, and web apps built with Ruby on Rails.

Two of Lotus’s earliest clients are still with me on retainer today, and still growing on software we built for them in 2015 and 2016.

If you’re writing about a project, a few sentences on what you’re building and when you need it help me reply usefully.

In their words

We had an idea of what we needed, but they made it a reality, and that was the beauty of our partnership.

— Taylor Bell, Mobile Engineer at TouchTap

Lotus Apps is a design & development shop that stops at nothing to ensure clients get a great experience, no matter the size of the project. Matt's passion and care for only shipping QUALITY work is unrivaled in my experience. From greenfield projects, with aggressive timelines, to long-term maintenance of legacy systems quality comes first for Lotus.

— Scott Douglas, Freelance Developer

We've been working with Lotus Apps for over a year and it's been a great experience. We've found their ongoing support for a application used by the US Department of Agriculture to be invaluable. They are very responsive and technically adept. I'd recommend them without reservation.

Working with Lotus has been one of the few instances where I deeply respected the quality of work and craftsmanship a vendor has brought to the table. Almost no one gives a shit anymore, but they do.

Matt is a fantastic software developer and terrific leader. Not only can he write code with the best of them, he also has the skills to manage a product development team. Lotus Apps brings passion, excitement and confidence...and in all cases has exceeded my expectations.

— Greg Bell, Director of Software Development at QHR Technologies

Matt is an incredible developer and a forward thinker. He's not only good at the details of the project, but he understands the project as a whole, and how it can fit into the bigger picture of the client and their business roadmap and needs.

You don't have the best team if Matt and Lotus Apps are not on it!

— Marcel Morgan, Lead Engineer at Verdacom

Matt is a great communicator, he can summarise a complex problem in a few crystal clear sentences, orally and in Pull Requests. This is important in a remote context, where miscommunication can arise more frequently than in a face to face office.
